LEIGHTON ASIA PUSHES DIGITIZATION WITH 1DCS HUB LAUNCH
LEIGHTON Asia will continue to level up its digital services to enable its clients to attain efficiency in operations and facilitate the decision-making process.
“By integrating the multitude of data captured, we can conduct complex analysis and share with our teams so they can collaborate and make data-based decisions more quickly,” said Francis Pramis, head of Leighton Asia Digital, during the Philippine Infrastructure and Construction Club Luncheon.
“Ultimately, this can improve the efficiency, safety and quality of our operations,” added Pramis.
Leighton Asia opened its One Digital Construction Services (1DCS) in Makati last May as an essential step to accelerating its digital delivery capability.
1DCS is a hub that provides integrated digital construction solutions to Leighton Asia and collaborates across the wider CIMIC Group. It provides technical services including digital engineering, planning, quantity surveying, estimating, reporting, integrations and other digital services.
Leighton Asia also assures continuous innovation in every phase of a project lifecycle, and has embraced new methods, materials and technologies to generate value and deliver sustainable solutions.
“As a business, we continuously seek innovative solutions to enhance safety, quality and efficiency across our operations. Such solutions are not limited to technical improvements on a project, they also include enhancements made to help us work smarter,” said Kits Chuidian, Leighton Asia Philippine country manager and president.
